Creates a Playwright instance and connects over CDP (Chrome DevTools Protocol). The connected browser instance is stored in a global dictionary for later reference. .PARAMETER WsEndpoint The WebSocket URL for connecting to the browser's debugging port. This URL typically follows the format 'ws://hostname:port/devtools/browser/<id>'. .EXAMPLE Connect-PlaywrightViaDebuggingPort ` -WsEndpoint "ws://localhost:9222/devtools/browser/abc123" ###############################################################################> function Connect-PlaywrightViaDebuggingPort { [CmdletBinding()] [System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.SuppressMessageAttribute('PSAvoidGlobalVars', '')] param( ######################################################################## [Parameter( Mandatory = $true, Position = 0, HelpMessage = 'WebSocket URL for browser debugging connection' )] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [string]$WsEndpoint ######################################################################## ) begin { # log connection attempt for debugging purposes Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility\Write-Verbose "Attempting to connect to browser at: $WsEndpoint" GenXdev.Helpers\EnsureNuGetAssembly -PackageKey 'Microsoft.Playwright' $Global:GenXdevPlaywrightBrowserDictionary = $Global:GenXdevPlaywrightBrowserDictionary ? $Global:GenXdevPlaywrightBrowserDictionary : [System.Collections.Concurrent.ConcurrentDictionary[string, Microsoft.Playwright.IBrowser]]::new() } process { try { # create new playwright instance Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility\Write-Verbose 'Creating Playwright instance' $playwright = [Microsoft.Playwright.Playwright]::CreateAsync().Result # connect to browser using CDP protocol Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility\Write-Verbose 'Connecting to browser via CDP' $browser = $playwright.Chromium.ConnectOverCDPAsync($WsEndpoint).Result # store browser instance for module-wide access Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility\Write-Verbose 'Storing browser instance in global dictionary' $Global:GenXdevPlaywrightBrowserDictionary[$WsEndpoint] = $browser return $browser } catch { Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility\Write-Error "Failed to connect via debugging port: $_" throw } } end { } } |
